'Play or pay' idea tvorriso1ne Dear Editor: 1 am writing in hopes of raisin!! awareness on just one pa11 of the Health Care bill and to~encourage people to get itnolved by contacting our representatives. Senators on the financl! committee have said the) are no~\ consid:ring a "pia) ~r pay.. mandate for employers. Thts would 1mpose penalties on businesses whose workers n.:cei\e coverage through Medicaid or make use of ne\\ .subsidies to huy health insurance. We do not know if these penalties will be in addition to gr substitute the payroll tax "pay.. part of a play-or-pay mandate. Penalties like this would in fact be a regressive tax on the working poor, reducing their cash wages and likely eliminating their jobs. Furthermore, it is unclear as to whether the employer will be penalized if they offer coverage but some employees declined coverage and enroll in Medicaid or other government-subsidized coverage. When an employer decides to hire. they make decisions based on the full cost of the employee. This includes wages. benefit!) AND employment related ta.\es. If expenses increase. cash wages must decrea~e and if that is not possible, jobs \\ill be eliminated. If the Finnnce Committee mo\'es forward, the results \\ill be dramatic. especially for low-income workers. I encourage ) ou to contact our representati' es about your questions and concerns in regards to all bills. but especially Cap and Trade and Health Care. Sherry Schuster Gallipolis Lost m all the e)e-pop1 ping 11C\\ s of last \\ eek \\as 1 an e\'ent the Obama administration hoped \\ ould garncr good press: "I he first Whit~ House celebration or the anniwrsary or Title IX.

When President Nixon signed the Ia\\ requiring educational institutions that receh c federal funds to treat men and \\Omen equalh. he couldn't ha\e known that he \\a. building a huge nC\\ arena for female athletes. but that has been the {:IICt'l ofTitlc IX. Education Sccrctnr) Arne Duncan told the White House g.tthermg that the percentage of women students playing college sports has jumprd from 15 to 43. and highschool ~irl athletes multiplied from 300.000 to almost 3 million. Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes rejnic.:ed in tho.se numbers along with others at the event. but insisted therl!'s still much \\ ork to be done before a girl can expect the same salar) and celcbrit) in the wide world of sport.., as her brother. 'The lack of coverage of female athletics in the media .,ends them a negnth c mess:H!C that women are not imp(li1ant enough to foliO\\,.. she said. ' --~ Cokie and Steven Roberts It's not just the media that can discourage aspiring female athletes: it's the money. Sports like football sltll command the bulk of college budgets and the bicgest hunk of college sd1olarship<>. At the highschool )e\el. it's hard to knO\\ \\ hether schools are complying with the law because districts often don't report what they spend on sport's and who's participating. Two bilb introduced in Congress \\ ould require th..: publication of those numbers. Though it's women athletes who have championed Title IX. the la'W clpplies to all of education and women in science (another field still merwhelmingly dominated by men). and it also showed up at the White House last week. At a time when one in four ne\\ jobs \\ill invoi\'C kno\\ ledge of technology or the u.;;e of computers. and more than 60 percent of the sloh in graduate schools arc filled by \vomen. on!} about one-quarter of the advanced de!!rees in mathematics. chemistry. ph) !'ics and a.stronomv are awarded on the dbtafi' !)ide .In eneineering and computer science. tho e numbers drop to 18 percent. A look at university science faculties would be enough to discourage any female student. In 2003, the National Science Foundation found only 28 percent of' full-time university positions in the hard M:ienccs held by women, with the fu 11-profcssor chairs occupied by a mere 18 percent. Despite Larry Summers' pronouncement when he was president of Harvard that "in the special case of science and engineering. there arc issues of intrinsic aptitude'' that bar 'Women from those fields. women scientists adamantly db.agrec. Citing studies that show girls and boys in elementary school equally interested in science. physicist and former astronaut Sally Ride says that girls stan losing interest by high school because they ''think science and engineering is not for them" - they see no role models and receive no encouragement So she's trying ''to make a difference in girls· lives. and in society's perception of their roles in technical fields'' through her special camps for girls' and science festival!-. and games. We don't think Larr) Summers ambled O\'er from hi:; White House office to witne~s the celebration of Title IX. His life would have been in dan!!er from the women there. When Summers dismissed "social- ization and continuing discrimination" as factors hindering female scientific advancement. his conclusion flew in the face of these women 's experiences. Women like tennis cha. pion Billie Jean King se to combat those twin enemies to girls' achievement through the Women's Sports Foundation 's support of programs that promote activities and athletics for girls. Like Sally Ride, King is determined to convince girls to go for it. But girls need something more than the encouragement of exemplary women - they need the enforcement of the laws. That's why a White House birthday celebration for Title IX matters. But it's only a beginning. Valerie Jarrett, chairman of the president's Counc il on Women and Girls, vowed to review every federal program affecting sex disparities with the promise that "we're not going to rest on our laurels until there is absolute equality." That's a tall order, worth studyin. anniversaries of other ci rights bills occur. Let's see. the law forbidding discrimination in employment turns 45 this week. Are you there. Ms. Jarrett?

We are fortunate to li\·e in a country \dth bountiful resources and an enduring spirit of liberty and justice for all. o,·er the pa<>t lew weeks, I have been thinking ahoul the people who live in the Middle East, especially Iran and now Iraq. With sn much of the world's attention focused clsewher..: - the disputed clcctlons in Iran, the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, the ongoing saga surrounding South Carolina Gov. ~1ark Sanford - the fragile transitiOn taking shape II} Iraq has not made much national headlines. Under the Status of rorccs Agreement (SOFA). the United States has begun to wind dm\ n its mission m lmq. This past week. U.S. troops completed the bulk of their orderly and gradual exodus from the major · cities in Iraq. It's ahoul time. Appan:ntly, thl! Iraqi people think so, too. By proxy, we got shoes thrown at os. The president of lruq portra)ed the U.S. troop withdra" al as a "\ ictory'' for Iraqis, calling our forces there "the occupiers.'' With more than 4,300 American soldiers killed and 31,000 injured in Iraq since the stt~rt of the war in 2003, it's too bad the Iraqi people chose to usc the Donna Brazile withdrawal as a cause for celebrating their national sovereignty without so much as one acknowledgment regarding the ultimate sacrifice our men and \\Omen in uniform made in securing that so.. creignty. Given the co-.t tn U.S. blood. as well a<; the resources and the near!) a trilhon dollars the United States has spent defending Iraq from its enemies outside and within it~ borders, one would have hoped that the Iraqi people would have been a bit more gracious and grateful. Though U.S. forces \\ill remain in and around Baghdad and a fc\\ other major citie-. to ensurl! a more peaceful transfer in an:as of the coumry still dealing with sectarian strife, it's long past time for the Iraqis to seize control of their destiny. In a nationally tclevi.sed address to his people. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri aiMaliki stated ....1hose who think that Iraqis arc incapable of protecting securit) 111 their country and that the withdra\\ a! of foreign forces \\ill leave a securit) 'acuum which \\ill be difficult for Iraqi forces to fill arc making a gra\'e mistake." Let's hope so. In his own message to the Iraqi people and to the folks here at home, President Barack Obama noted. "Iraq's future is in the hands of its own people .... The Iraqi people are rightly treating this as a cause for celebration. The future belongs to those who build, not to those who destroy." What has been missing isn't an American military presence in Iraq's major cities but rather an aggressive and successful civilian and diplomatic mission "within Iraq, which is why President Obama sent Vice President Joe Biden to spend the Fourth of July in Iraq as part of a two-day visit to meet with Iraqi officials and troops to help foster efforts at political reconciliatiOn !'he timing is not a coincidence. underscoring both <.'ountries shared cause for ct.!lebration of independence und sovereignty. As most Americans long ago concluded, the war in Iraq was a mistake. President Obama. who inherited the whole mess from the previous administration. has taken the correct course of uction by completing the withdra\\ at. Nevl'flhelcss, we should expect more \ iolence to entpt as opportunistic forces attempt to take advantage of G.S. troop withdrawal from urban areas. The United States, however. must remain firm in allowing the Iraqi leaders to establ. order with a new chain command that will empower its troops and security apparatus. Of course. this will not and must not preclude the O b~a administration from working with the Iraqi leaders to ensure they are providing the essential services their people will demand, which includes security. The U.S. mission is not yet completed. but the withdrawal of our troops is a major turning point for the ~ture of Iraq. With a deadhne set by both nations last year for the e\'entual withdrawal of our forces by the end of 20 II . it's time co get the policy right. And that starts with Iraq taking command of its own c~ountry and destiny. Meanwhile. even those of us who disapproved of the \\ ar fro m the start a~ strongly objected to the rible planning of tts ex.ec tion can agree on this: Our troops are heroes. and they deserve to be thanked for doing their job so well. I cannot wait to welcome them safely back home. (Donna Bra::.ile is a po/it., ical commemator on CNN.

Palin resignation leave~ questions on 2012 run wi~l~~~~;.~tTclea:'~i~?ar7~e~~i~J·r~l~~~:~:·~l~~~~~~~~\~~~ WASILLA, Alaska (AP) - Even for a nonconformist, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has ddied political logic with her sudden. stunning announcement to leave office more than a year early. Supporters and critics alike say the fonner GOP vice presidential candidate's resignation. announced Friday afternoon and effective July 26, is an inexplicable move for a high profile Republican widely seen as a contender for a White House run in 2012. A halfteml governor campaigning for president? "If she is thinking that leaving her term 16 months early is going to help her prepare to maybe go on to ger and better things on political stage, I think c's sadly mi~taken. You just can't quit," said Andrew {-Ialcro. a Palin critic who lost the 2006 gubernatorial race to her. Palin's abrupt announcement Friday rattled the Republican Pany but left open the po::.sibility of a presidential run. She and her staff are keeping mum on her future plans. Palin's spokesman, David Murrow, said the governor t didn't say anything to him about this being her "political finale."

By that· time it wa~ clear that it needed to go; the sandstone foundation blocks had crumbled; the upright beam~ hollow and rotten, eaten by countle!'s generations of boring insects. Takin!! down the old barn was a drawn out process: beginning first with clean ing out the interior. removing anything valuable. and then pulling down the siding. This process took several weeks. While it \vould have been much simpler to toss a match. the barn's proximity to the garage effectively ruled out this option. So instead we took it down piece by piece. much in the same way a person eats an elephant. For weeks it seemed , we pulled off the weathered poplar siding. and dragged the pieces oYer to n manageable bum· pile. My wife Mary used a dozer with a backhoe to raze the attached chicken coop and milking parlor. Later. I shoved the wreckage off to the side where it could be burned. 1 then used the backhoe to strategicallv knock out !'Orne poSts. arid then shove the enure structure over.

Stoic through the aftermath of his father's fatal acc ident in the 200 I Daytona 500. and steady as his popularity pushed him into rock star status, Earnhardt rarely gives a glimpse of any inner turmoil.

" I feel like \\ c' ve let him down. mavbe I've let him down. by-not pulling the trigger carl ier." Hendnck said. "For maybe his sake and Tony 's sake.

He made rookie-like mistakes. struggled with his cars and led just 84 laps - the bulk coming at Phoenix when Eury used pit strategy to put Earnhardt out fwnt for 63 laps. Through 12 races with Eury, Earnhardt had just three top- lOs, and his season-best finish was second at Talladega, where he's "~upposed" to be good. ..

He 's also not a bad hitter. He is Ryan Robertson of Waverly High School. Robertson has signed a letter of intent to play baseball for Rio Grande beginning in the 2009-1 0 season. Robertson. 6-1. 210. was Ohio the Southern Conference (SOC) Player of the Year this past season and was named I st team All-Southeast District as well as honorable mention All-Ohio. Robertson posted some eye-popping numbers on the mound and at the plate as he doubled as a pitcher/outfielder for Noble's Coach Jeff Waverly Tigers. In 3 I games. Robertson batted .451 (41-for-91) with seven home runs and 26 RBis. He also ripped lO doubles and scored 36 runs while recording 31 walks. He posted a .589 on-base percentage and a .791 slugging percentage. As 2:0od as he was at the plate.~he was better in the center of the arena. On the mound. Robertson compiled an 8-1 record with a microscopic 0.73 earned run average. In 74 innings. he fanned II 0 batters and walked only 24. The opposition managed a meager .173 batting average against him. In addi tion to the 8 l mark. he pitched seven complete games (including two shutouts) and registered three saves. In 14 appearances on the season, Robertson surrendered only one home run. ''I'm really excited about going to Rio Grande." Robertson said. "The first time I saw it. I fell in love with it. It's close to home and I knew it was a small college that fit me \\'ell. Also. the baseball program is stepping up and I hope to help that." Rio Grande head coach Brad Warnimont believes Robertson can do just that, sooner and not later. "Ryan has the potential to make our pitching staff better and deeper immediately." he said.

Jackson led the Lakers to their 15th NBA championship and his I Oth title in June, breaking the mark he shared with the late Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach. ''I feel confident that 1 can gainfully pursue an NBA season with another long playoff postseason,'' he said. "All things point to go!" He signed a two-year contract extension last season and holds the option on a second year. Last season, Jackson missed two West Coast road games because of pain and swelling in his lower legs caused by plantar fasciitis, a problem he had checked out.

(AP) - Former Florida offensive lineman Drew Miller remembers all the team meetings, the lengthy lectures about hanging out with the right people, making smart dec1sions and avoiding situations that would draw negative attention. o Miller, it seemed like ors coach Urban Meyer or of his assistants was always talking about staying out of trouble. Miller also knew that message wouldn't reach all his teammates. "It's not going to get to everyone," said Miller, who waduated last year and is trymg to catch on in the NFL. "There's so many players. You can't baby-sit them all. There's too many guys to keep them all out of trouble. Someone 's going to screw yp." That's certainly been the case at Florida, where there have been 24 arrests involving Gator'S over the last four years under Meyer. Although the number of Florida players arrested is similar to that of its rivals, the Gators are getting attention because they have won two national titles in the last three years and have a coach who hasizes good behavior. eyer points out that col• Ie"ge students often make mistakes and that the majority of the charges have been misdemeanors. "This group of players we have now are by and ·large a pretty good group," MeY.er said in a statement. "Like most young people, they are trying to find therr way. "It is a continual part of our program to mentor and guide our players, and it is not an exact process. Although we ·have been very successful with most, we are by no means perfect. We are disappointed when we encounter some issues ~long the way, but we are gomg to continue ~o e~ucate and teach our players. The latest issue involved cornerback Jru1oris Jenkins, one of the team's top defenders. He was charged with misdemeanor affray and reststing arrest without violence after alleged involvement in a t outside a Gainesville • htclub. According to police, Jenkins hit a man in the head on'May 30 and threw another punch after officers ordered him and others to stop fighting. An officer then shot Jenkins with a Taser stun gun. Jenkins attempted to run, but was caught about a block away. Jenkins' attorney, Huntley Johnson, said his client acted in self-defense against some- f. one trying to steal his necklace and that the charges could be dismissed. Even though Jenkins and walk-on running back Marquis. Hannah, charged with unarmed burglary - a second-degree fel0ny - are the only cutrent playet'S with pending criminal cases, the recent arrests provided Internet message boru·ds with plenty of fodder. Some even called the school "The University of Felons.'' "No one here condones our players stepping out of line, and everyone here wants to get better." athletic director Jeremy Foley said in a statement. "However, Urban Meyer and his staff are the best that I have seen in modifying behavior, and at the end of the day, the majority of the players who come through this program will make us all proud and not just because they are good football playet'S." Florida's opponents have also had their problems. Florida State's football program has dealt with I 3 arrests over the same four-year period. according to research by The Gainesville Sun, while Tennessee has had 21 arrests and Georgia 30. Although Meyer has been known to give players a chance to redeem themselves, he has cut ties to those who repeatedly find trouble. Meyer kicked offensive lineman Ronnie Wilson. safety Jamar Hornsby and comerback Jacques Rickerson off the team after giving them multiple chances. Wilson was arrested three times in a year and a half, the first time for punching and spitting on a man outside a Gainesville nightclub in April 2007 and then 'aking an AK47 assault rifle out of the trunk of a car and firing it into the air. Wilson pleaded no contest to charges of misdemeanor battery and discharging a firearm, received two years of probation and was required to perform community service and undergo a mental health evaluation. Meyer suspended him indefinitely. Wilson was arrested again in January 2008 on marijuana possession charges. The charges were eventually dropped. and Meyer allowed Wilson back on the team last August. But two months later. Wilson was arrested on misdemeanor battery and assault charges for allegedly hitting two people during a late-night bitthday party. The case is pending. Homsby, who was charged with misdemeanor propetty damage and criminal mischief in April 2007 for alleoedly throwing a mar. onto the hood of a cru· during a fight, was dismissed from the team after he allegedly stole a credit card from a teammate's girlfriend following her death and used it 70 times during a sevenmonth span. The charges were reduced to misdemeanors, and Hornsby accepted a plea deal. Rickerson. who was suspended for the 2007 season opener following a possession of marijuana charge. was booted last November after police said he slapped his girlfriend, choked her and then covered her face with a pillow. The felony domestic violence charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, the court withheld adjudication and Rickerson was placed on two year's probation. Florida maintains that Meyer was trying to help those players tum their lives around. "Anyone who can't see his desire to influence young men positively and make them better citizens hru; no idea who he is as a coach and a human being." Foley said. "It is really easy to focUS' on negative issues and negative press. This is pru1 of the world we live in and we understand this.'' Although Meyer rarely reveals punishment for players, Miller said the penalties can be stiff. He said players get all sorts of p•ivileges revoked and have to do extra early morning workouts. "You're not going to want to go out at night when you're getting killed at 6 a.m.," Miller said. "There are some guys who make mistakes and bounce back and come back a completely different person. The!·e 3!e others who keep gettmg mto trouble and end up gettin& funneled out of the program. WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Five-time champion Roger Federer reached his seventh straight Wimbledon final Friday and will face Andy Roddick for a chance at a record 15th Grand Slam title. Federer delivered a masterful grass-court performance to beat Tommy Haas 7-6 (3). 7-5. 6-3, extending his winning run to 18 consecutive matches and closing in on the mark he shares with Pete Sampras of 14 major titles. Federer will meet Roddick in the final for the third time in six years after the American defeated Andy Murray 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7). 7-6 (5). The Swiss star beat Roddick in the 2004 and '05 finals and leads I 82 overall. The third-seeded Murray had been seeking to become the first British man to reach the final in 71 years and first to take the title since 1936. but Roddick outplayed him on the big points to silence the home fans. "To be honest. the last couple of years I didn't know if l'd ever get a chance to play for another Grand Slam title,'' said Roddick, who won the U.S. Open in 2003. ' 'Now I get to. It's just a dream." Roddick saved a break point with Murray leading 4-3 in the fou11h set with a forehand winner, then came through with big serves in the tiebreaker. When Murray slapped a backhand into the net on the second match point, Roddick fell to his knees on the grass and leaned forward covering his head. "I had to play my best tennis out there to win today," Roddick said. "1 can't say enough good things about Andy's game, but l can play some tennis sometimes. and not many people were giving me much of a chance at all. and I knew if I could stay the course that I had a shot and that's all you can ask for." Murray dominated the statistics, but still couldn't overcome Roddick's clutch play. Murray had 25 aces, 76 winners and 20 errors. compared with 21, 64 and 24 for the American. "Throughout my career I've had a lot of shortcomings, but trying hard hasn't been one of them,'' Roddick said. "To be fair, he had all "the pressure on him and I could come out and kind of swing and that probably helped me today.'' Federer finished his match with a flourish. leaping high for a smash reminiscent of Sampras in his Wimbledon heyday. He is the first man to make it to seven consecutive Wimbledon finals in the history of a tournament that began in 1877. Federer never faced a break point as he beat Haas for the ninth straight til]le to reach his record 20th Grand Slam final. He and Ivan Lendl had been tied at 19 apiece. ''I'm very happy with my perfotmance and it's unbelievable to back into another Wimbledon final.'' Federer said. 'T ve had a lot of pressure over all the years, so this is just another great match. great opportunity for me to get into the history books.'' lf Federer wins Sunday, he will be the third player to wi'n six or more Wimbledon titles. William Renshaw and Sampras both won seven. 'T m very proud of all the records I've achieved because I never thought I would be that successful as a kid," Federer said. ''I would have been happy winning a couple tournaments and maybe collecting Wimbledon. It's quite stag- gering now having reached: ... my sixth straight Grand' Slam final. Having so many things going for me now again, opportunity again on Sunday, it's fantastic." Federer said he is feeling less pressure this year than in 2007 when he equaled Bjorn Borg's record of five· straight Wimbledon titles. Borg was among those watching Friday from the Royal Box. ''For some reason that meapt the world to me,•·; Federer said. "I was like in a bubble for two weeks, just trying to achieve it. So this time around I think I'm much more relaxed." Federer. who completed a career Grand Slam by win-. ning the French Open las~ month, said he- would be happy if Sampras came to Wimbledon to watch him try to bre ak his record . Sampras is home in California looking after his· two young sons. "He might come around; he might not.'' Federer said; ''It's his choice. I'd love to see him because he's a good friend of mine. Very honored of course that I share the record of 14 with him." The women's final is Saturday. with a WilliamS: assured the trophy for the eighth time in 10 years. The Williams sisters are back in the final again - Venus for the eighth time. Serena the fifth. It's the fourth Williams-vs.-Williams final. at the All England Club and eighth in a Grand Slam title match. Fittingly. the show will take place on the Fourth of July. . The sisters reached their: second straight Wimbledon: doubles final Friday, beating top-seeded Cara Black of Zimbabwe and LieL.el Huber of the U.S. 6-l, 6-2. They will face Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs· of Australia for the title.

The final curtain call is tentatively scheduled for I p.m. when what remains of the Ohio pier will be imploded under the Ohio River. Wh.at was left of the West Virginia pier \\as imploded underwater on Thursday. a day when the Ohio pier was also expected to go but loading the explosives on the West Virginia side took longer than anticipated. The entire demolition process has fascinated many in the Bend Area who have watched $1 million worth of explosives and labor bring down the old. steel structure and its supports. The cost to demolish the old bridge is as much as it cost to build it back in 1928. The Pomeroy Mason Bridge was dedicated on ~ov. 12. 1928. The structure had a cantilever span of 1,185 feet. a channel span of 665 feet and an over-all length of 2,000 feet which was nearly a half mile. Fourconcrete piers. with two anchor spans between the shoreward piers supported 1,847.75 feet of''steel superstructure.'' according to u 1946 newspaper article. The larger piers extend 50 to 60 feet underground below the river bed and six feet into .solid rock foundations. Two months from the date the first steel was laid. the main span was l:onnccted on Aug. 22, I 928. The masonry and concrete work were completed in eight months, with the painting and general conditioning after the steel work was finished requiring two months. The span was finished in one year. The Pomeroy-Mason Bridge operated as a toll bridge until 1946 when it was "freed" during a Cl!remony said to have been attended by 6.000 spectators. The bridge closed to traffic on Dec. 30. 2008. Specialists from Duane Houkom Inc. from Texas were brought in to demolish the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge from pier to pier. A timeline for the demolition of the Pomeroy Mason Bridge is listed below. • By 7 a.m. on April 21. the streets of Pomeroy took on a carnival-like atmosphere as spectators staked out the best spot to watch the center span to the Pomeroy -.\lh1son Bridge be imploded and dropped into the Ohio Riv~.:r. After days of delays due to high water, shortly before 9 a.m .. tht.' span was detonated with 19 C4 charges before hundreds of onlookers. The Ohio Department ofTransportation ran over its 24hour deadline to clean debris from the Ohio River due to a problem w1th the detonation. ODOT said v.hen the center span dropped seconds after the detonation, the West Virginia side of the bridge lagged behind and twisted the structure. causing it to buckle \vhen it hit the water. The . structure then rolled on its side. resulting in several smaller pieces of debris to be collected as opposed to larger pieces. ODOT had hoped when the span hit the water. the top trusses would be sticking up, allowing quick identification of the -..ection which were then to be cut and pulled out of the water. but that didn't happen. Despite this. river traffic was moving within a few days after the detonation. • On May 14, walls and windows were rattling in th~ Bend Area once again when the West Virginia span of the old bridge was imploded, with weather delaying the event by about an hour. • At around 8:30a.m. on May 28. the last remaining piece of the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge's steel structure, the Ohio span. was detonated with about 50 charges of C4 and dropped from its resting place of nearly 81 years. • At around 2 p.m. on June 16. the top. visible portion of the bridge's Ohio pier was imploded with 500 pounds of a C4 mixture. • The next day on June 17 the top. visible portion of the bridge's West Virginia pier was disposed of in a l:.imilar fashion, only this ttme a stray piece of the pier ended up in a nearby family's bedroom as a souvenir. Shortly before the implosion. Kelly Stewart of Muddy Duck Lane in Mason. W.Va., wa~ filming the detonation from inside an upstair:s bedroom in the home she shares with husband Steve.

The piece of the pier literally missed Kelly by only a few feet and can be seen on Kelly's film hurtling toward the house. The Stewarts said workers with DHI offered to pay for damages . • On July 2. workers imploded what was left of the West Virginia p1er, with the remainder of the Ohio pier scheduled to be imploded on Tuesday, truly wiping any trace of the Pomeroy-Mason Bridge off the face. though not the memory, of the Bend Area. • " On April 21, the , center span to the Pomeroy Mason Bridge was detonated and dropped into the Ohio River after 81 years of roosting above it.

Carnivals up until the 1930s might consist of a few rides. fortune tellers. stunt men and such, but many communities objected to the so-called games of chance. most of which were rigged. The expression "bag man'' came from the carnival days and described the man who carried a bag of money to the "fixer,'' the one who kept the law off the carni \ al officials. Such expressions as "ballyhoo," ''razzle dazzle," "86'd" and :.blov.ing your pipes'' are just a few such terms placed in the English language by the "carnies." The first big carnival to play Gallipolis came in the early 1930s and was called ''Golden Rule Shows." They promised clean entertainment with no crooked games. According to the ad. this carnival traveled with 412 people. Included on the Silver Bridge ball field for a v. hole week in May were monkey speedway races, "Kongo,'' the king of the cannibals, snakes. dances from darkest Africa and from Paris, minstrels, athletic feats of strength as well as several rides. They also had the high wire act of Rita and Dunn with Miss Kyle, who dove into the fire. During World War II. carnivals were sponsored by the American Legion, and in 1943, a man calling himself "The Fly" scaled the walls of the Swain Hotel, which was a four-story hotel on the 400 block of Second Avenue. That building burned down in 1958. Once on the roof, 'The Fly" rode a bicycle all over the top of the building. "The Fly" also scaled the Lafayette Hotel. Carnivals in this era were held at the river landing down from the City Park. The 1944 carnival, brought here by the Jones Brothers of Huntington, became quite controversial because clergymen protested the bad elements and waste of electricity and money. The Gallipolis Ministerial Association took out a full page ad in which they stated, among other things: "We are told that Nero fiddled while Rome burned and those who wink at these local atrocities automatical- ly classify themselves in that tyrant's category." Local showboat legend Billy Bryant defended the carnival people as "show people" who were only trying to make a living. He pointed out that nearly 200 of the employees took rooms in local hotels for the week . ln 1947, Rita and Dunn. who were in Gallipolis in the 1930s with the Golden Rule Shows. were back. v. ith their own carnival. The last night, which was July _12, 1947, was a muggy evenmg. Rita had picked up a ''bug" and had retired to bed early. leaving Dunn to do the last show of the night and the last show of their week in Gallipolis by himself. Dunn slipped on the high wire, regained his balance, only to slip again and fall some 50 feet to the hard sand below on the riverbank. His right leg hit first and his whole body crumpled but lurched forward. His head hit with a terrific force. He spoke a few words and then gasped. He was dead. As a whole, the postWorld War li camivals were better than some previous ones. except for the belly dancer. Stated the Tribune: "The only excuse this writer heard for this exploitation of depravity was that. 'you don't have to see it.' The same justification could be offered at a speak-easy, a brothel, or any sort of gyp · joint." In 1953, ex-carnie Bob Thompson made headlines when he revealed over two days in the Tribune all of the dirty little secrets of the carnival con games. He said he saw a little cnppled girl come to his booth in Gallipols to try to knock over a large sawdust stuffed cat. The thing was fixed so none one could ever knock it off. The prize was a stuffed bear. Thompson whispered to the girl's father that the game was fixed, but he would sell him a bear for $3 (the cost to the carnival). The man said he preferred to win it. He lost several dollars, whereupon Thompson asked permission from his boss to let the man win. The boss told Thompson to take as much as he could from the sucker. Instead, Thompson quit and spilled the beans about carnivals. (James Sands is a special correspondent for the Sunday Times-Sentinel. He can be contacted by writing to Box 92, Norwich, Ohio 43767).

PageC3 Sunday, July 5, 2009 What outdoor enthusiasts should know about West Nile Virus Bv GREGG SPEAR TARIAN·IN·TRAINING lA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT • What is West Nile Virus? West Nile Viru::. (\VNV) is a viral disease previously seen only in '\fnca. Asia. and Southern Europe. This viru~ can cause encephalitis or meningitis. an infection of the brain and the spinal cord or their protective covering. In 1999. WNV appeared in ~orth America, at least 62 people became seriously ill. and seven of those died. Since then. WNV has rapidly spread throughout North >\mcrica. 46 statl:s and the District of Columbia. During the year 2000. 21 human cases of WNV encephalitis \\ere reported in the United States. with two deaths. In ~002. 4.156 human cases of WNV encephalitis or WNV fever were reported with 284 fatalities. In Ohio in 2002. WNV v.·as first confirmed and reported in all 88 counties, either in birc..ls. mosquitoes, humans or horses. Then~ were 44 I human cases reported and 31 deaths. 644 hor'e cases were alSo identitied. During 2003, almost 10,000 human cases of W1\.IV encephalitis and fever were reported from 46 states, \\ ith 26-1- fatalities. Since 2003, WNV cases and fatalities have continued to remain fairly high. The yearly number of cases and number of fatalities have fluctuated depending on the weather conditions throughout the country. It b expected that WNV will continue to be a serious disease threat well into the future.ln 2007, 23 cases of WN\ and 3 fatalities wc1e reported in Ohio. The West Nile Virus is spread to people by the bite of an · - cted mosquito. The principal transmitter of West Nile s is the Nmthern House Mosquito (Culex Pipiens). quitoes first become exposed to the vims when they feed ~n bird-. that are infect~d wi~ WNV. Once the mosquito is mfected. tt m<l) transmtt the vuus to people or other animals when it bites them. Many birds can be infected with WNV, but crows and blue jays are most likely to die from the infection. Horses. too. are prone to severe WNV infectiol). People cannot get WNV from another person or horse that has the disease. Continued spread of this disease amon~ wild birds and mosquitoes is anticipated. In Ohio. state. tederal. and local agencies are worldng together to address the J?Otential health risks of WNV to Ohio families and their ammals. Does West Nile Virus pose a special risk to outdoor enthusiasts? • . An) person bitten by a mosquito infected with WNV is at nsk. The mosquito most closely associated with the disease (northern house mosquito) breeds in the stagnant water of mud puddles. ditches. flower pots. old tires. clogged 0autters, and similar reservoirs of water. 1~ is i_mportant to apply _rnpsquito rep~llant when participatmg tn any outdoor acttvtty - espectalJy when fishing, 7ampi_ng. or boating at night. Wearing light-colored clothmg w1th long sleeves and long pants helps prevent mosquito bites. Window screens on campers and boats should be kept ''bug-tight'' as should netting on tents and similar outdoor gear. Keeping a campsite neat and orderly and eliminating a!}y potenti~l mosquito breeding. sites is always recommended. Electnc ··bug zappers·· do not help since these ·ces attract more mosquitoes than they kill. e hunters who field dress wild game birds at risk WNV? There is no evidence that West Nile Virus can be transmitted directly from birds or mammals to humans through direct blood contac~. However, hunters are always urged to take proper precautiOns and wear rubber gloves when field dressing game. Can a person contract West Nile Virus by eating infected game birds? ProJ?er cooking kills the West Nile Virus. Consequently. there ts no danger associated with eating well cooked wild game that might be infected. Is feeding ·wild birds a health risk for humans? .It is. completely ~afe to feed and provide habitat for wild btrds 111 OhiO. Residents are urged to clean birdbaths regularly (at least. every few days); aerate backyard ponds or ~tock ~he_m wJth m~squito-eating species such as goldfish; and chmmate contamers of stagnant water. What should outdoors enthusiasts do if they encounter dead birds? People who encounter freshly dead birds with no other apparent i'llness or injury s8ould alert the local health ~epa~m.ent.

Holzer Senior Care proftles padenrs progress GALLIPOLIS - Ethel Price is a walking. talking miracle. About three months ago. however. the future did not look good for Mrs. Price following a multiple vehicle accident on March 29, in which she suffered severe injuries. She and her husband. Eddie, were on their way home to Gallia County from a trip to Florida when the wreck occurred along Interstate 75 near London, K). Mr. Price was also injured, but has since made a full recovery. Given the extent of Mrs. Price's injuries, though, the initial prognosis offered by physicians was not positive. At the very least. her journey back to health was expected to be a long. arduous process. "I had multiple fractures. a torn aorta and was not expected to survive," said Mrs. Price. ·'But with teams of doctors and the grace of God. my life was spared." Physicians at the University of Kentuck) Trauma Center performed surgery to repair the aorta and fractures to her pelvis. spine and other areas of her upper body. On April 12, Mrs. Price was admitted to the Holzer Medical Center Rehabilit<.tion Unit in Gallipolis, and then on April 22 she was moved to Holzer Senior Care Center (HSCC) with hopes of making the transition back to her everyday life ·'The wonderful therapists diligently worked with me even though I was on complete bed rest,'' Mrs. Price said. "The doctors and nurses and staff here are very caring: just like one big family. I have received the best of care." Jason Moore, OTR/L program director for therapy services at Holzer Senior Care Center, said Mrs. Price's recovery has been nothing short of a miracle. ··1 think any therapist or clinician that would have looked at her case and the physical level she was at when she first got here, would have said that she would need at least three to six months to recover." said Moore. "However, she cut that to less than 60 days." An extremely joyful Mrs. Price left Holzer Senior Care Center on Friday, June 19, happy to return home with her husband to their residence near Vinton.

FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pork tenderloin gets plenty of attention for it leanness. After all. it rivals boneless, skinless chicken breast. But tenderloins also deserve credit for their versatility. They usually weigh between I and 1 I /2 pounds, the perfect size for feeding a family of four. And they lend themselves to so many different preparations. you never need to serve it the same way twice. For ultra-quick meals, cut the tenderloin crosswise into 1/2-inch medallions. These can be grilled or sauteed, then finished with a quick pan sauce made with mmced shallots, white wine, a bit of Dijon mustard and some chopped fresh herbs. make the medallions even more er and quick-cooking, place the medallions between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to I /4inch thickness using a meat mallet or heavy frying pan. Chunks of pork tenderloin can be used in stews and soups, but be sure to keep the cooking times short so the lean pork doesn't get too tough. Or for a truly impressive presentation, you can prepare a stuffed pork tenderloin. Using a sharp knife, make a slit in a pork tenderloin lengthwise to within 112 inch of the other side. Open the tenderloin flat and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound to 1/2-inch thickness. Fill the flattened tenderloin, lengthwise down the center, with a stuffing (such as chopped, sauteed mushrooms and onions or slices of proscuitto layerect with slivers of Parmesan cheese). Roll the pork like a jelly roll and tie with kitchen twine in several spots. Grill or roast the stuffed pork tenderloin until it reaches an internal ternperature of 155 F. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then carve into 1/2-inch es to serve. ne of the simplest preparations is to t or grill a tenderloin that has been marinated or rubbed with a spice blend. This grilled pork tenderloin in a soysherry marinade takes only a few minutes to prep, but can sit all day in the marinade. For a convenient but sophisticated weeknight meal, you can start it in the morning and simply cook it when you get home from work. If you don't feel like grilling, roast it in the oven at 400 F until it reaches an internal temperature of 155 F. ~ l AP photo Coo is summer with creamy shakes AP photo This photo taken May 31 shows Grilled Pork Tenderloin in a Soy-sherry Marinade.

Start dumping bananas and other produce into the blender and you've got a smoothie. Stay true to ice cream, sorbets and syrups, and you've got a shake. And Ried's got more than 100 shakes. His new book, "Thoroughly Modern Milkshakes," collects recipes for traditional and creative takes on this classic summer drink, including Ballistic Vanilla Shake and Apricot-amaretto Shake. r Start to finish: 30 minutes (plus 1 to 8 hours marinating) Servings: 4 1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced 6 cloves garlic 1/2 cup dry sherry 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon canola oil 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 1/4-pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat : 4 scallions, thinly sliced Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 1 In a food processor, combine the ginger and garlic.

But so does monosodium glutamate. Despite decades atop the dietary rogues' gallery, the flavor enhancer better known as MSG remains quitous. Check the fine t on the labels of ranch ssings, instant noodle soups and chips. It's even showing up in cookbook recipes. It's not that MSG has totally lost its stigma, but the days of its intense demonization seem to have passed. Studies have repeatedly failed to show that normal consumption causes the unpleasant reactions people complain about. Plus, it bas a flavor that's hard to beat. MSG is an easy way to create savoriness (often called umami in the food world), the rich, sometimes salty flavor you experience with Parmesan cheese or a good steak. Maybe more to the point, Americans have moved on to fretting over other culinary villains. "MSG has fal~n to the back of the bus, basically,'' Melissa Abbott. senior d analyst with The man Group, a consumer • consulting and research company. "Of course, it's still an ingredient that consumers will and want to avoid, but high-fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils have just kind of jumped in front of it." MSG is a manufactured glutamate, an amino acid found in tomatoes, walnuts, mushrooms and other foods with protein. A Japanese scientist was able to isolate l ) the glutamate flavor in 1908, paving the way for MSG manufacturing the next year. The white crystalline additive is known for its use in Chinese foods, though it has long been a staple of packaged foods such as chips and soups. It's available commercially in seasonings like Ac 'cent , Aji-no-moto and Sazon. Cooks who swear by MSG say it intensifies the flavor of stews , meats. even vegetables. "Used correctly. MSG can turn a really good meat into a dynamic meat," says Chris Lilly, a barbecue champion who included MSG as an optional ingredient for soy marinade in his new cookbook. "Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book." Lilly is quick to note, though, that he always tells his customers when he uses MSG. o.MSG has been produced for 100 years, often by fermenting com. sugar beets or sugar cane. But its bad rap dates to 1968, when the New England Journal of Medicine published a letter .linking Chinese food to symptoms that include numbness and weakness. MSG was fingered as a possible culprit in what was dubbed Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. The letter struck a chord. Complaints were circulating for years when the Food and Drug Administration released an exhaustive MSG study· in 1995 that concluded some people may have short-term reactions after large doses of MSG, particularly on an empty stomach. But the panel found no evidence that MSG was unsafe for most people when eaten at normal levels. Joseph H. Hotchkiss. a professor of food science at Cornell University. says the general feeling among his peers is that MSG syndrome has been discounted. Still. the controversy is far from over. Many people still claim MSG makes them ill - just try Googling "MSG Syndrome." And at least one recent study has linked MSG to weight gain. With MSG suspicions lingering, some food manufacturers have switched to hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, which contain glutamates at lower concentrations than MSG. MSG's reputation has likely been buffed up a bit by the increased interest in umami (pronounced ooMAH-mee), which is so{lletimes called the "fifth taste" after sweet. sour, salt and bitter. Kara Nielsen, trend analyst with the Center for Culinary Development in San Francisco, says MSG's reputation improves as more people understand umami. But foods watchers like Nielsen say it's doubtful MSG will ever be embraced by consumers increasingly concerned about their health and the ingredients in their food. ~upermarketGum .com editor Phil Lempert says food makers are favoring more natural ingrt.!dients to create umami flavor without MSG. While MSG may persist, few observers expect a Renaissance. "1 think where we're headed is more natural umami - tomatoes, balsamic vinegars, Parmesan cheese," Nielsen says. "While J see MSG as doing better, the artificial world is coming under attack.'' -.. This photo taken May 31 shows Grilled Soy and Lime Beef Tri-tip. If you are ready to give MSG another chance the Grilled Soy and Lime Beef Tri-tip is an excellent way to start. Learning to Jove MSG with a basic cut ofbeef BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The tri-tip is a small cut of beef - usually between l 1/2 and 2 1/2 pounds - .. -- ...... from the bottom sirloin. Chris Lilly, author of the recent "Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book." says the cut packs big flavor, but has a low fat content. Lilly says this cut tastes great marinated, then grilled at a high temperature over direct heat. GRILLED SOY AND LIME BEEF TRI-TIP Start to finish: 5 hours (1 hour active) -- .. Servings: 6 to 8 For the marinade: For the beef: 1 1/2 cups apple juice 1 beef trl-tip (approximately 2 1/2 pounds) 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 beef bouillon cubes 3 tablespoons seasoned salt 3 tablespoons dark corn syrup 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons MSG (such as Accent) 1 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger In a shallow baking dish or zip-close plastic bag, combine all marinade ingredients and mix well. Add the beef and cover or seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 and up to 12 hours. When ready to cook, grind the beef bouillon cubes into a powder. Remove the tri-tip from the marinade, discard the marinade. Pat the meat dry. Sprinkle the meat evenly with the bouillon powder and pat so it adheres to the meat. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for indirect cooking. To do this, bank the coals to one side. For a gas grill, turn one burner to high and leave the other side off. Grill the beef on the hot side of the grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Move the beef to the 1 cool s1de of the grill, close the cover, and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the ~ internal temperature of the beef reaches 135 F to 145 F for medium-rare to medium. Transfer the beef to a platter, cover it loosely with foil and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. (Recipe from Chris Lilly's "Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book," Clarkson Potter, 2009) "' .

FARMERVILLE. La. (AP) - A California-based poultr) company that recently took over a closed Louisiana processing plant with assistance from the state says it will not extend contracts to all of the plant's former growers. Foster Farms agreed to buy the shuttered Pilgrim's, Pride poultry ·processing plant in Farmer\'ille for $80 million, with Louisiana contributing $50 million of the purchase price and another $10 million for equipment upgrades. The company's director of marketin~ ser\'ices, Ira Brill. said 111 a statement that independent growers had been providing chickens to both the Farrnen'ille plant and another now-shuttered Pilgrim's Pride plant in Clinton, Ark. "As Foster Farms brings the Farmen lite plant up to full capacity, it expects to extend contracts to the vast majority of Lou:siana growers, but the regrettable fact is that thi~ single plant cannot fully accommodate a grower base that was pre\ iously supplying two plants," Brill said. Brill said the company, which planned to spend about $18 million annually on chickens. would use such factors as cost, the quality of chicken housing and distance from a feed mill and the processing plant in its decision to extend grower contracts. Grower contracts are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. ''Foster Farms is committed to premium. locally raised poultry products and is very pleased to begin operatiOns in Louisiana," Brill said. "It has a lon!!standing history of fairne;!'> in worklllg with growers and other business partners." Pilgnm ·s Pride put 1,300 employees out of work when it · clo!->Cd the Farmerville plant in earl) May. following the company"'s bankruptcy reorganization 111ing in Texas. Foster Fanns plans to begin operations at the Farmerville plant on July 16. The company said total employment was projected to exceed I ,I 00 by September with the payroll eventually hitting 1,300 again. Last month, the city of Clinton sued Pilgrim's Pride for S28 .5 million in federal court, accusing the company of trying to manipulate the price of chicken bv idling some of its processing plants. Pilgrim s Pride I has refused to comment on the ~uit. That plant employed 450 before it closed. ••• BISMARCK, N.D.

If only tha\ were as simple as dropping a row of pebbles in the ground. 11tepping back. and waiting a few week!\ or months for a wall to appear. But. of course, what I mean is to grow plants in a stone wall. The nooks and crannies in any unmortared stone wall cry out for a bit of decoration. So much so that. without any helping hand. plants - too often weeds - frequently insinuate themselves into such walls here and there. Stone v.·alls do a great job of defining the landscape with their mass and lines: plants soften and decorate these walls CLIMATE CHANGE Nooks and crannies in a stone wall can have microclimates quite different from the rest of your yard. For one thing, the soil in the wall usually drains off water extremely well. And temperatures are a bit different, the stone itself shading plant roots but absorbing and retaining heat to modulate temperature swings in the air nearby. Microclimates vary, depending on a wall's exposure. North and east walls stay cool even in summer, while south and west walls bake. WALLS ARE A GREAT BACKGROUND : The hard part is building a wall: the eas.> part is finding plants for it. · The best plant<; for walls are tho<;e that enjoy dryish soils. As far as looks. the best wall plants are those with relative!) small leaves and flowers. And if the plant<; trail or drnpe. so much the better: foliage and flowers can dtip like water from planted crevices. • The neutral grays and browns of stones provide ideal backarops for setting off any color flower. A list of wall plants might include lavender, sea pink. lavender-flowered aubrietia. pink or white maiden pink. and purple flowered thyme. A couple of natives that should do as well in built walls as they do in natural rock crevices are Dutchman's breeches and wild columbine. Both are dainty plants with flowers that call for the close. individual attention they'll get poking from a wall. With some plants, it is their leaves, rather than their flowers. that earn them a backdrop of stone. An obvious choice here is hens-and-chicks: its fat whorls of succulent leaves multiply to tightly pack any cranny into which it is planted. Rock cress not only hac; downy leaves, but is covered with fragrant white flowers in early summer. WALL CONTROL Some plants that self-seed too aggressively "on the tlat" are kept suitably in tov.. on a wall. Chamomile - although lovely with its ferny, lime green foliage and cheery white daisy flowers - is one such plant, as is forget-me-not. an especially fecund annual. Snow-in-summer is a perennial that does not self-seed, but quickly blankets the ground with its creeping sterns, which lope down from nook to riook in a stone wall. Walls pretty much take care of the plants they house. but the plants do need occasional tidying. Most of the plants mentioned look better if they're cut back after a flush of flowers. This cutting not only keeps them more compact. but sometimes encourages another flush of blossoms. Another point of maintenance is the base of the wall. Sure, you could weed-whip the grass that presses up against the stones. but you can avoid this by planting the base of the wall. too. How about a thick stand of daylilies or oriental poppies there? BY LEE REICH FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS hrysanthemums run the gamut. from bushy mounds covered with blossoms to statel), upright plants capped by one or just a few humongous blooms. Their colors and forms of flowers. are equally variable. Generally. you just buy the mums you like. plant them. then do nothing more than enjoy their blossoms. If you'd like to bling out the very best from any mum plant. hov.:ever. pinch it a little here and there. A pinch is nothing more than pruning oti with ) our thumb and index finger the last half-inch of stem. And summer's the time to do it. MUMS ARE AWARE OF SUMMER'S PROGRESS No matter hO\v you pinch-prune mums, keep in mind that these plants form flower buds in response to shortening days and cooler temperatures. The number of short days needed to induce tlowcr bud-> depends on the variety of mum. \Vith low. cushion mums need in!:! the least number of, days and large flowered mums needing the most. Some of the larger mums tlower so late that the\ must be grown in a greenhouse or In pots brought indoors in autumn. Once a plant changes gears and stat1s entering the tlowering mode, it responds different!) to pruning thm when it was vegetative Uust growing stems and leaves). BUSHINESS I~ A PINCH Out in the garden, a mum that is naturally bushy might look better if it was even more bushy. Promote bushiness by pinching each shoot beginning when it is 6 inches tall. Repeat this pinching each time shoots grow.an additional6 inches. Stop all th.is pinching no later that 90 davs before the nonnal bloom date. July is when most of these plants start to develop f1owcr buds and you don't want to remove those buds. PICK YOUR PINCH J;'OR BIG BLOSSOMS Growing mums for fewer but larger blossoms J..., .a whole different ball gm~1c, and can be an exacting science. First. choose an appropriate \'ariety: some mums will not make extra-large blossoms no matter v. hat you do. Then right away remove all hut one to three shoots on each plant, as \\ell as any branches C AP photo This photo taken June 18 shows Chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums run the gamut,. from plants that are bushy mounds covered with blossoms to those that are stately, upright, and capped by one or just a few humongous blooms. Colo. and forms of flowers are .equally variable. Generally, you just buy the kinds mums that you like, plant them, then do nothing more than enjoy their blossoms. on those shoots. Stake each shoot separately to keep it rigidly upright. The change over to the flowenng phase is gradual. If you don "t pinch the tip of a stem at all as days shorten. the end of that stem becomes a flower bud. The flower stem itself stavs relatively short. and has strappy" leaves rather than typical mum foliage. Side shoots grow out belo"'' this top bud, and somewhat later these shoots are also capped by flowers. For a larger blossom. pinch off the side shoots sq. that all the plant's energy goes into Dowers opening only on the main stems. Altcmatively. pinch out the tip of a main stem before it makes a flower bud. Three or so of the side shoots just belov,· the tip will continue upward grmvth. Eventually. the plant will enter the flowering phase and the end of each shoot will be capped by a cluster of tlowcr buds. These flower buds sit atop stems that are relatively long and do have the characteristic mum foliage - all of which is important for "show" mums. Depending on how many and ho~ large you want yQur blossoms. retam one or all of these shoots. For an extra large blossom, pinch out all but the top flower bud on each shoot that you left. Otherwise. let the ends of each retained shoot open into a spray. which is a large. flower surrounded by smaller flowers. all blooming together. The timing of the last pinch. as well as the number of sterns and flowers to allow each plant. has been carefully calculated for the best show from a number of varieties. Why all this precision? Because commercial and competition mum growers mu~t eke the best from each of the plants. Just fooling arou_nd with mums can be fun for the rest of us gardeners.
